Not that I can see, but I will check out the code later too.

The question is whether IMAP really limits us to using something
silly as timeouts. Couldn't the server keep sending BUSY messages,
or the like?

How could the client distinguish between an upload progressing, and
the connection having stalled. Does it look at the flow rate of
data, or how does IMAP cater for this requirement?
